• (a) in the case of an hourly rate, by the aggregate of

  • (i) the number of hours in a relevant standard work week multiplied by 52, and

  • (ii) the number of hours in a relevant standard work week divided by the number of days in a relevant standard work week;

• (a) in the case of an employee who, during any relevant period, is or was paid at an hourly rate, by dividing the total number of hours in respect of which contributions are or were made to the Superannuation Account by the aggregate of

  • (ii) the number of hours in a relevant standard work week divided by the number of days in a relevant standard work week;

• (b) in the case of an employee who, during any relevant period is or was paid at a daily rate by dividing the total number of days in respect of which contributions are or were made to the Superannuation Account by the aggregate of

• (b) the number of days during which they so served.
